The jury duty list is generally taken from the list of persons who have drivers licenses throughout the state. It had been the practice many years ago that only persons owning land would be selected but this was abolished as being unfair to persons not owning property, because they would have persons perhaps not in their social class judging them. Later, the jury lists were taken from voter registration records, but this was also abolished in virtually all jurisdictions, because people could avoid jury duty by simply not voting. This was a double dereliction of civic responsibility.
If you have never been called for duty but want to serve, you can contact the local or state jury commission to volunteer to be put into the general pool of people to be called at random.
